Publisher's Summary

Plagued by a war between magic and technology, Atlanta has never been so deadly. Good thing Kate Daniels is on the job. She may have quit the Order of Merciful Aid, but she's still knee-deep in paranormal problems. Or she would be if she could get someone to hire her. Starting her own business has been more challenging than she thought it would be - now that the Order is disparaging her good name, and many potential clients are afraid of getting on the bad side of the Beast Lord, who just happens to be Kate's mate.

So when Atlanta's premier Master of the Dead calls to ask for help with a vampire on the loose, Kate leaps at the chance of some paying work. Turns out this is not an isolated incident, and Kate needs to get to the bottom of it - fast, or the city and everyone dear to her might pay the ultimate price.

Paranormal problem-solver: listen to more titles in the
Kate Daniels series.

Story

Another wonderful additon

This book is another solid addition to the series. Kate finds out more about her mother's side of the family and some painful truth. At the same time the relationship with Curran is becoming more solid. I was surprised and delighted by the choice Curran made to Kate. One of the most romantic gestures I've ever read! You know then that he truly loves Kate no matter what over anything and anybody.

This series and the Dresden series are the only series I buy both the printed and the audiobook version as soon as they come out. They are that good ! I like to listen to the books first because that way I don't miss a word. I tend to read really fast and I usually don't savor every word the first time around. BUT I just couldn't wait this time and I've already read the printed version...So please if possible, could you release the audiobook version at the same time as the book?

Better and better

This series just keeps getting better. The fear is once the main couple get together an author often falls on contrived angst to keep the tension. Not so here. Kate and Curran never fail to entertain. It helps greatly that the plots beyond any romantic interest in the books have always been very strong. This series appeals to anyone wanting an action plot, a plot dealing with dysfunctional families and how to keep the romance in a real relationship after the commitment is made. The secondary characters are all amazing also.

and it continues . . . to be continued

What made the experience of listening to Magic Slays the most enjoyable?

Each book runs into the next and I love Renee Raudman. She is an awesome narrator

What did you like best about this story?

Character developments.

Have you listened to any of Ren??e Raudman???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only the one's in this series, she is the best female narrator I've heard.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but I did immediately buy the next book. I'm guessing Ilona loved that!

Any additional comments?

I love the continuation of this series. I know her and her husband write on these books and it definitely shows. It has romance without being nasty or sappy, and action without being overly gory and explicit. The mix continues to work well and if you haven't read/listened to the previous books, do, it's highly entertaining and worth the time. The creatures and mythology involved become more entrancing as they have done some serious research (or fibbing) to build the foes their heroes battle. It is an excellent mythological and magical adventure that does not disappoint.

The narration is perfect. I will honestly admit I never knew who Renee Raudman was before this book series but I have to say I am in love. She has great character inflections, timing, and consistency in how she reads. I have to say she is the best female narrator I have ever come across in thirty years of listening to books.

Mad skills!

Kate Daniels lives in an alternative world where the power of magic and the power of technology vie for control over society. In Magic Slays, the war between magic and technology peak in a knock-down-drag-out fight that is both exciting and heart wrenching. In this installment, we also learn more about Kate’s family, and Kate learns how to trust in a mature relationship with a lunatic alpha male while Curran learns that you can’t manipulate your partner and have a healthy, happy relationship. This book moves a little slower than other books in the series, but it is a fantastic addition and hints at some wonderful future plots. I can’t wait for the next book! I found it irritating that Tantor Media delayed the audiobook release even though the kindle release and the book release were on the same day. Renee Raudman is a pro. She really brings these characters to life.

Oh Kate!

First Thought when Finished: Other than the unnecessary relationship drama in Kate's head (at least she calls herself on it) Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews was another KICK ASS addition to the series. I am just plowing through these (I am going to regret it when I have to wait with everyone else). Loved the fighting and the detective agency. Can't wait to see where the story goes now!

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated By Renée Raudman / Length: 13 hrs and 17 mins

Broken Record Alert: Love Renee's narration of this series. It is a MUST LISTEN!

Awesome Listen

Any additional comments?

I have just finished listening to the series 1 through 5 and am yearning for more!! Characters come alive and scenes are colorfully described. I cant wait to see if the author continues this saga!! A must read in my opinion

Gets better and better

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I'm prett addicted to these characters at this point so I feel very invested in everything that happens to them.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to make not of Renee Raudman. She's incredible. There are a lot of characters over these 5 books. She has given special voice to each one. I never have difficulty knowing who's speaking. Also the male voices are wonderful. So much so that if this were a movie and the actors playing Curran and Jim etc. had these voices I wouldn't think twice. She's the best I've heard and I couldn't be happier she's doing one of my favorite series.
